Gender differences in the rate of 30-day readmissions after percutaneous coronary intervention for acute coronary syndrome.
This study investigated whether women have higher 30-day hospital readmission rates than men who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In general, women have been reported having higher readmission rates than men after ACS. Statewide hospitalization data for 2010 to 2015 in Hawaii was analyzed to compare gender differences. Overall, the women in the study were older, more identified as Native Hawaiian and have more cardiovascular risk factors compared with the men. Readmission rates were found to be higher than for men after undergoing PCI, but as shown above there were more risk factors for these women.
